What is the longest time for a dry socket to heal ?

Question

I had my lower right wisdom tooth extracted almost 3 weeks ago. I found out 4 days after the extraction that I have dry socket ( massive pain was an indicator). they put clove packing in it and it helps but once it falls out the massive pain is back and shooting up in to my ear . I can't take it anymore. how much longer could it take.when will the pain be completely gone ?

Answer 1

the dry socket usually heal within 2 to 3 weeks. If not, then you will have to see your dentist
